232 E 68th St, New York, NY 10065

Located on one of the Upper East Side's most historic and pristine townhouse blocks, 232 East 68th Street is a beautifully appointed, 18ft wide, two-family townhouse featuring a gated arrival and brand-new facade. Offering over 6,000 square feet of move-in condition interior space plus 1,800 square feet of exterior, accessible by three separate entrances, the home is as versatile as it is distinguished — currently configured as an owner's triplex plus a rental duplex above yet easily reimagined as a magnificent single-family residence or community facility property. The owner's triplex residence is anchored by a dramatic south-facing formal living room with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open directly onto a sun-drenched, private garden — a true urban sanctuary. A formal dining room with a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins sets the stage for elegant entertaining, while a chef’s kitchen features a breakfast bar and premium appliances including a Viking four-burner range, Bosch dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The lower level offers a flexible recreation room nearly 60 ft in length with separate street entrance and natural light from a skylight above — ideal for a home workspace or low-traffic professional use, and an excellent fit for an architect, designer, therapist, or practitioner who values the privacy of incoming and outgoing guests. A dedicated laundry room, wine storage, and extensive built-in storage complete this level. Central air with multi-zones, elegant hardwood floors, and extensive custom storage exist throughout the home. Above the main living/dining floor, the upper story of the owner's triplex boasts 10.5ft ceilings and is devoted entirely to bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and 5-piece limestone-clad ensuite bath, a second bedroom, and an additional full bath — providing a quiet, private retreat well removed from the home's main entertaining and working spaces. The upper duplex, accessible via its own private gated entrance, arrives to a stately marble foyer and is currently rented to a market rate tenant. The third floor presents a sun-filled living room with a fireplace, an adjoining den, expansive kitchen, formal dining room, powder room, and laundry. The fourth floor houses a skylight, generously sized primary suite with a five-fixture spa-like bath and adjacent custom walk-in closets plus private balcony, a second bedroom, a home office and additional full bath. For the visionary buyer or investor, the property offers significant upside; it's located outside of the UES historic district with buildable rights up to 8,500 square feet. Set on one of the Upper East Side's most coveted blocks, 232 East 68th Street enjoys an incredibly convenient and accessible location, with effortless access to schools, world-class museums, exceptional restaurants, art galleries, and the boutiques on Madison Avenue. Whether enjoyed as a magnificent private residence, a turnkey investment, or a sophisticated hybrid of home and workspace, this is an exceptional offering in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.
